Map name: Verdun
Location: Verdun, France
Game mode: Conquest: Head-On
Map description: Extensive terrains near Verdun are a battlefield adjusted to fights with the use of heavy machines. It's a plain area, with lots of trees and obstacles like low walls. Although tanks and battlewalkers dominate here, drivers should watch, where they are going in order to avoid damaging the vehicle; Many faults and other elements of terrain geometry forces players to use roads; driving through the fields is unprofitable. In addition, there are other obstacles in the way. The first one is a deep river. Vehicles have to use shoals and bridges to get across the stream. Another barrier is a high wall, placed in parallel with the river. Few gates and breaches are the only way of getting on the other side of the battlefield. Infantry is not so important here, the most popular kits are Recon (with RDX DemoPaks) and Engineer.
Analysis: Small green circle is surrounding a village, where vehicles could have problem with maneuvering. In that region, infantry is able to destroy machines and throw accurate grenades at enemy soldiers very easily. Huge green circle surrounding four flags and the high wall, marks the area, where the most embittered fights take place. These control points change owners awesomely often. [1] is a tower, which is a fragment of the wall located in the centre of the map. It's a nice vantage point, especially for engineers equipped with rocket launchers and grenades. From there, southern flag can be seen. Teams start in points [I] and [II], where means of air transport and heavy machinery can be found.
Strategy for EU: First of all, large group of units should move to the central part of the map and take as many flags as possible. Controlling this region leads to making enemy's ticket amount smaller and smaller. Defense could be quite difficult, because the opponent in such situation can attack which point he wants and it may be difficult to anticipate his moves. That's why it is a necessary to gather many armored vehicles in that area. They will have to move from one lost flag to another and regain control of them. There's also a possibility that the enemy will send an air transport with a few soldiers in order to capture a control point behind the frontline. However, one tank with full crew would be enough to cope with that kind of danger. If PAC controls the centre of the map, prepare for a long hard struggle for flags placed in there.
Strategy for PAC: Our main goal is to capture and hold the central part of the map, so it's similar to the EU strategy. If the team would manage to get to the high wall and gather there some armored vehicles, it will be a big success. It is also a good idea to attack western EU flags, with the Yastreb airship. If the enemy would control the central area, that kind of action behind the frontline may turn out to be necessary. Struggling for the flags in the middle will be needed too.
Titan mode:

The most important thing is that EU and PAC may move their Titans towards the battlefield without worrying much. Surroundings of silos 3 and 4 (marked with green color) are perfect for these airships.
